Trump Rips Josh Shapiro, Kamala Harris For Not Supporting Israel

On Wednesday night, after Pennsylvania Democrat Governor Josh Shapiro spoke at the Democratic National Convention, former President Donald Trump took aim at not only Shapiro but also Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, correctly pointing out the Democrats’ abandonment of the Jewish state and his own unmatched record of support for Israel.

Shapiro, who is Jewish, was passed over for Harris’ vice-presidential slot in a move that was widely considered to be Harris’ fear of the anti-Semites and anti-Israel members of the Democratic Party. In his speech, he never mentioned Israel once or anything regarding foreign policy, instead claiming Harris and the Democrats are the party of “freedom.”

Trump wasted no time in targeting Shapiro and Harris for their lack of support for the Jewish state, writing on Truth Social, “The highly overrated Jewish Governor of the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, made a really bad and poorly delivered speech talking about freedom and fighting for Comrade Kamala Harris for President, yet she hates Israel and will do nothing but make its journey through the complexities of survival as difficult as possible, hoping in the end that it will fail. Judge only by her actions!”

Trump’s point regarding Harris making Israel’s journey for survival as difficult as possible has been borne out by her administration’s insistence on slow-walking military aid to Israel, and their pressure on Israel to make concessions to the terrorist group Hamas. Harris’ own remarks after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were considered to be undermining the Jewish state.

“Yet Shapiro, for strictly political reasons, refused to acknowledge that I am the best friend that Israel, and the Jewish people, ever had,” Trump continued. “I have done more for Israel than any President, and frankly, I have done more for Israel than any person, and it’s not even close. Shapiro has done nothing for Israel, and never will. Comrade Kamala Harris, the Radical Left Marxist who stole the nomination from Crooked Joe, will do even less. Israel is in BIG trouble!”

Trump’s claim of his unmatched support for Israel is accurate. In 1995, Congress passed the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995, which recognized Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel and called for Jerusalem to remain an undivided city. It called for setting aside funds to relocate the American Embassy to Jerusalem by 1999. The law allowed the President to invoke a six-month waiver of the application of the law and reissue the waiver every six months on “national security” grounds. The waiver was repeatedly renewed by Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama.

But Trump made the move happen in 2018. On February 23, 2018, Trump announced that the US Embassy in Israel would reopen in Jerusalem on May 14, 2018, to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the Israeli Declaration of Independence. In addition, Trump recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, an area that was vital to Israel’s national security interests, as its enemies would fire down at Israelis in every previous war.
